Let's not give out phone numbers on the forums, okay? Not a good privacy option when you can send via private message. Besides, the number you listed was wrong. Originally Posted by Soke Skip

Yeah, I tried dialing it before I took a good look at it, and it tried to connect me to Somalia :-P I deserve an 'A' for effort, right?

I happen to be re-readiing it. I never finished it the first time, but it is a good book.

Just finished Vice (http://www.amazon.com/Vice-Story-Pat...&keywords=vice) I wonder how much of it is true. Wonderful read, though.
Now starting The Generals (http://www.amazon.com/Generals-Ameri...s=the+generals) Really enjoying reading about Marshall and Eisenhower. I didn't know how many WWI and Interwar generals Marshall had fired when he became Chief of Staff. His ideas about what qualities an American officer should have were also quite revolutionary and specific to our location and our phase in our history. What insight! Also, how the US Army went from about 120,000 to 9 million so very, very quickly. Amazing.I realize you think you understand what you thought I said, but what I am not so sure about is whether what you think you heard is what I think I meant.

The last installment of "The Wheel of Time" series pops tomorrow.
I'll have it on audiobook tonight at midnight.Message: Due to the ongoing Recession, God has decided the light at the end of the tunnel will be shut off due to power costs. That is all.
